I am trying to convert a video of 'avi'format to one group of photos. which template I should load? I have tried the 'SuperVideoCD (NTSCFilm).mcf' and 'VideoCD (NTSCFilm).mcf', but the preview and photos converted are all black images.
Is there anyone could kindly tell me the reason and how to do with this problem?
Thanks a lot.
I've been using version 2.5 for many years with no problem. Now suddenly when I attempt to edit a video the display only appears in the upper left hand corner of the edit screen and it's only a portion of the full screen. Does anyone have any ideas what has happened and if there is anything I can do to get things sorted out? Thanks!
What OS are you using? It might have to do with the Windows OS display zoom feature (don't remember what it's actually called). Basically you can make text appear larger which is helpful for large, high res displays. Unfortunately, this can screw up things in various programs such as TMPGEnc. Going back to 100% text size usually fixes the issue.
I'm not sure if that's the source of the problem but it sounds similar to things I've experienced in other TMPGEnc apps.
I'm using Windows 8 (actually 8.1 now). I have made no changes to my display settings. I was hoping the upgrade to 8.1 might do something to fix the problem but no such luck.
I have a music video clip that has a few sections it which I would like to crop so that the image is zoomed in during those sections, but the rest of the clip remains the way it was. I know how to crop so it's easy enough to create sub-clips that are zoomed in, but what I am unsure of how to do best is how to assemble those sub-clips together in such a way to have nice video crossfades in them but no audio crossfading. I tried using timeline mode but in order to get a nice video crossfade, but the clips have to be overlapped to get crossfading and that also crossfades the audio, which I do not want.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
In Timeline mode, you can just turn off the audio for the edited layers. So basically have one layer that has the full, unedited video and use that for your audio.
Thanks tkrave. What I find is in order for there to be crossfades (or any transitions for that matter) between the edited clips, you have to overlap them in timeline mode, and when you do that, the final video clip is shorter than the original, unedited clip by the total of all the crossfades. Granted, I don't want long crossfades between clips (around 1 second each I am guessing would be good) but even just a couple 1 second crossfades then results in the video being 2 seconds shorter than the audio. This makes a lot of sense when you think about...that crossfades will shorten the video. I am not sure what else to try.
OK -- I seem to have found a good compromise. What I did was, in timeline mode, I lengthened the duration of the first edited clip to make up for the shortened video that resulted from the crossfade into the 2nd edited clip. Lengthening the duration of a first edited clip clip to make it longer than the source freezes the last frame, which then is not really noticeable during a short .75 second or so crossfade into the 2nd edited clip.
I'm trying to put a static mask on an entire video clip, but the mask filter only affects the first frame of video. I try to set the range to the end of the video, but the "set current frame" button does nothing. Why wouldn't a mask affect the entire video by default?
Are you in Timeline mode? I think it's easier to use the mask filter in the timeline mode. The mask will have its own timeline which you can easily adjust the duration.
I am trying to convert my blu-ray collection to MKVs for viewing on my media centre. I have one blu-ray that has 4 audio tracks on. Yet when I import it in to MW5 it only allows me to have 1 audio track, I can choose which one, but not all of them. 2 are PCM and 2 are Dolby Digital.
How do I make all 4 audio tracks be encoded ? MKV's can have multiple tracks.
You can't with this software, it only supports one audio track. I don't even suggest that you use it for ripping purposes, simply due to how slow it works and the problems there will be due to copy protections.
I suggest that you purchase a propper ripping software, who is able to add multiple audio tracks and also has a much better CUDA and DXVA hardware acceleration support, because this cuts the ripping time of a Blu-ray movie by nearly 75%. My tip there is DVDFab 9 because of how fast it works when hardware acceleration is being used.
Ok, so I'm trying to do a project where it contains multiple audioless mpg video files and Ogg audio files. The problem is that TMPGEnc VMW5 can't read some of the Ogg audio files properly. For some reason the files that can't be read properly are shortened to 1 second length. So for instance, I have one ogg file that is 13 sec long and another ogg file that is 10 sec long. If I add the 13s length audio file to my project, it can play the audio fine. But for what ever reason, when I add the 10s audio file, it will shorten to 1s length and it plays no sound. Anyone have an idea to a solution that might fix this problem?
I'm a newbie at authoring my DVDS. But I've had Authoring Works 5 about 3 months. Authored about 6-8 dvds. Used the same templates each time. They're simple but functional. 1 track title page with title, play button, chapter button. 1 chapter page with 6-10 chapters. Last time I attempted the same process, I could only get a chapters button. Can some one help me figure out how to put my play button back? Thanks, Don
